National Water Quality Month
National Sandwich Month
National What Will Be Your Legacy Month
What Will Your Legacy Be Month is a month for people to reflect on their past and present actions and vow to make positive changes that will affect generations. We have to remember the seeds, whether positive or negative, that we plant in our children's lives. This observance is about making the right choices so our children and their children will make the right choices. Everything we do will grow and reflect our teachings. So teach your children well.
If last month was National Hot Dog Month, and this month is National Sandwich Month, does this prove the old argument that a hot dog is not a sandwich?
For National Water Quality Month, I was going to put up a picture of a polluted stream or brown water coming out of a tap, but all the pictures were all so ugly and horrible I just didn't want to sully this post with them. So here's this:

This month "was originally named Sextilis in Latin because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar…. About 700 BC, it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created the Julian calendar in 46 BC (708 AUC), giving it its modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC, it was renamed in honor of Augustus. According to a Senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, he chose this month because it was the time of several of his great triumphs, including the conquest of Egypt.[2] —Wikipedia
Okay, I was looking for pix of kids and dogs swimming, and there are many great ones, but I found this good "water quality month" pic.

JULY COMES FORTH
SNEAKING ON MOSQUITO FEET
BUT ILLUMINATED
BY FIREFLIES
National Ice Cream Month
National Hot Dog Month
National Baked Beans Month
It's a picnic!
Where it all comes together:
National Chili Dog Day July 25th (USA)
Or, if you prefer the great indoors:
July 3rd to August 15th, inexplicably, are officially known as the
Air Conditioning Appreciation Days
Why "July"?
This guy:
Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth.
Here's a thing.
July 2nd is World UFO Day.
Go out and not identify a flying object!

Went searching for a Julia to close out this post. Lots of Julia celebrities (some I even recognized). This one caught my eye, though:
Julia Adasheva
and her Ferrari
Adasheva (that's a sexy name if ever we heard one) is the definition of a gorgeous Russian model. Born in Moscow in 1991, she now travels the world as part of her modeling career which started at the age of 16. The beauty is 23 years old, born on April 25, 1991, wears size 7.5 (38 shoes) and is dress size 6 (36).
Her dream car is a red convertible from Maranello. No, not a California like Paris Hilton has, but a 458 Spider, the epitome of Italia style and performance. Julia is seriously into cars and frequents tuning shows. Her personal Youtube is filled with videos of her testing out various exotics around Moscow.…

Why "June"?
The Latin name for June is Junius. Ovid offers multiple etymologies for the name in the Fasti, a poem about the Roman calendar. The first is that the month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter; the second is that the name comes from the Latin word iuniores, meaning "younger ones", as opposed to maiores ("elders") for which the preceding month May (Maius) may be named.[4] Another source claims June is named after Lucius Junius Brutus, founder of the roman Republic and ancestor of the Roman gens Junia [5]
I'm gonna go with Juno, Roman goddess, over young people.
FATHER'S DAY IS JUNE 16
I looked through a lot of Father images. This one struck me. First, because I vividly remember chasing along holding bikes for each of our three when they were little. Second, because it's symbolic of how Fathers must be sometimes: you push and push and push, you encourage and encourage and encourage, and then, suddenly, you have to just let go…

June Haver
June Haver was born on June 10, 1926, in Rock Island, Illinois… appeared on the stage for the first time at the age of six in a local theater production… In 1942, at the age of 16, June joined Fox Studios as a fringe actress. Dropped because the studio thought she was too young, they signed her the following year to appear in The Gang's All Here (1943). … In 1945, she appeared in Where Do We Go from Here? (1945) with her future husband, Fred MacMurray, who she wed in 1954. … After they were wed, the couple adopted twin girls. June's last foray into the glare of the camera lights was when she played herself in the television production of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour(1957). She died of respiratory failure in Brentwood, California on July 6, 2005. —iMDB
